If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power source with voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor. ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES 1 I.,;e only blades which are 1,140mm (44-7/8")long; 13 mm (1/2")wide; and 0.5mm (.020")thick. 2. Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage before operation. Replace cracked or damaged blade immediately. 3.Secure the workpiece firmly. When cutting a bundle of workpieces, be sure that all workpieces are secured together firmly before cutting.

Unsharpened or improperly set wheels produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, wheel binding and KICKBACK. Wheel depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making cut. If wheel adjustment shifts while cutting, it will cause binding and KICKBACK. Use extra caution when making a “Pocket Cut” into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding wheel may cut objects that can cause KICKBACK. 11. Use only diamond wheels. NEVER use tool with wood cutting blades
